      Dr. Hari Das, Senior Consultant at DMES and founder of
21st Century Films, received his film training in New York
University. His 1996 feature film,
Moonnilonnu, ran for a month
to full-house audiences before it was given for distribution. He
wrote, produced and directed
The Photo(2004), The Broken
Beads
(2006) and Theekkuchi (2008), a trilogy on Indian
children. The first two films received awards in international
festivals while the last title is currently under review in a
number of festivals. The early viewer response to the film in
centres like Cannes, Passau and Chennai has been very
positive.

       A professor of management, Hari applies management
tools to plan and execute film projects thereby generating
significant cost savings-- all his films were produced at a
fraction of normal budgets. He is also a creative writer with two
novels and dozens of stories to his credit.
